Outer Banks - 5.17.11 - Cool Start at 5th St.
Cool start this morning. Overcast with a mix of sun & clouds today, but temps will be in the upper 70′s. Waist high swell is coming through. Some choppy, rideable sections, but southeast winds are not cleaning the surf. Fish are biting – offshore, near shore, Piers, Sound, and bridges.
Outer Banks - 3.28.11 - Chilly Start in KDH
Good morning. Here’s the Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report for Monday, March 28, 2011.
This video was shot just south of the Avalon Pier at the 5th St. beach access in Kill Devil Hills at 8:30 AM.
Where did spring go?! I hope it comes back soon.
It was a chilly, windy, and wet weekend on the Outer Banks. Temps in the 40′s, wind blowing out of the northeast at 20 mph, and rain. Unfortunately, the week is starting out the same way. It’s overcast today with temps in the 40′s sticking around for the next couple days. The sun should return in the next day or two, and the temps will warm up as the week progresses. We should be approaching 60 degrees by next weekend.
Unfortunately, the weather didn’t help much with the surf or fishing this weekend.
No surf today, and not much swell coming in this week. It looks like we could have chest high swell in the area by the end of the week, but forecasts aren’t predicting surf. Although, I looked at the wind forecast, and I’m thinking there could be a chance on Friday. I’ll keep an eye on it.
As for OBX fishing, unfortunately, not much activity over the weekend due to the wind and rain, but there are still large schools of blue fin tuna in off shore and reports of puppy drum in the Sound. As the water warms the activity will continue to improve.
Enjoy!
Outer Banks - 1.25.11 - Soggy & Foggy at 5th St.
